VWM5556 is a true waterborne solution for painters wanting to take full advantage of the array of custom colors, special-effect colorants and pigments available in the Vibrance Collection of finishes.

“The new midcoat is one more component in a complete waterborne system,” said Steve Lehner, PPG, product manager, premium collision. “VWM5556 is a major advancement for custom car builders as it allows for the development and use of exotic pigments that were previously available only in solvent form.”

As a multipurpose, midcoat layer for PPG waterborne basecoats, VWM5556 provides the medium for special-effect pigments when creating tricoat finishes. This versatile midcoat can also be successfully used as transparent protection over special custom graphics and effects for added depth and a distinctive appearance. Additionally, VWM5556 is extremely fast-drying and easy to use.
